Come Back Mark Wood, Wherever You Are

I'm probably going to miss Mark Wood more than most bloggers. It is he, after all, who actually inspired me to start blogging. His constant flow of outstanding discoveries on the web convinced me that the web was worth the effort that it takes to write daily.

I'll have to save my best writing until Mark comes back for I've only considered it my best writing when Mark linked to it.

It's been exactly a year ago today that I started this blog, and it continues to evolve. Maybe that's why I'm stiil enthusiastic about it, as I have a tendency to get bored once I have "mastered something." I'm in the midst of starting a new blog at a new ISP employing Moveable Type, thanks to the urging of Jonathon and the help of Jeff Ward.

I ran into some problems with setting permissions at my new ISP. In mid-stream I discovered that Adobe GoLive actually sets permissions whenever you transmit a file. It just does it without letting you know. I actually discovered this accidentally. To make a long story short, Benjamin Trott of Moveable Type has done a superb job of holding my hand until I could solve the problems with my site. I can't believe how much he had to put up with to install my program for a mere $20. I now have a site up and running and can start experimenting with the design of the program.

Right now I'm simply trying to figure out how to change columns so that main entries show up on the right, as they do here. I'm not sure why, but this just seems to me the way it should look. Right now I've set the end of the month as the date that I will have to complete the move to my site.

If I don't set a date, I'll just let it slide. For awhile at least, I'll be posting at both sites. I imagine it will take awhile to move all my old files for the last year to the new site.

Still, I'm excited about the new program and looking forward to having comments and the ability to do RSS feeds.

I can provide a great deal of expertise in gathering and providing information because of my considerable web design and Internet experience which included the most lucrative of the dot com era. Most of the needed job duties can be performed with a hi speed internet office from any location, but Los Angeles is a key location because of it’s political and media influence which I bring to the table from my entertainment and publishing background.

Here is a copy of my e-mail blurb for the USAfor USAfrica coalition I started here in 1996. It’s early web marketing led to Libyan Kadafi taking up the United States of Africa theme and marketing HIS version of a United States of Africa by promoting himself to the O.A.U. nations in meetings on formation of a United States of Africa in 2000 with future plans already in the works.

The position of my USA4USAfrica movement is to lobby for current UN leader Kofi Annan to assume a United Africa’s first presidency and leadership via Africa’s first continental all nation, all citizen vote first declaring their desire via referendum to become a United Africa and by a second vote, declaring the first president of a United Africa, who we hope to be Kofi Annan of Ghana.

A Nobel peace prize winner with the admiration and respect of not only Africa across the board, but the EU and the United States AND the IMF which holds the glue and key of a United Africa holding it’s new self together by relieving the debt which threw most African nations into disorder.

Only now and only a person like Kofi Annan can assume such a monumental task and make it work. And work with world nations as well. A united federalized and democratic African republic of the combined nations of the continent would create a super economy that would rise all economic boats of the world. Not only can it be done ( with the accepted great difficulty) – but it MUST be done.

The only way to stem the continent wide atrocities of famine and war is for every person born on African soil to be able to travel and seek opportunity and lifestyle in ANY African country of their choice or journey.

I can answer your questions regarding the building blocks of this task and I can transcribe it for you in plain terms on further talks.

Please call me immediately at my home office: 661.270.0798 or 661.270.1809 to discuss the position and more. Below is my e-mail blurb that has been bringing me great Internet traffic to my web site on USAforUSAfrica, http://www.GeoCities.com/UnitedStatesAfrica.

This is really not the Mark Woods I was addressing here. Instead it was Mark Woods of Wood’s Lot.

Generally, I would consider this spam and immediately delete it, but this Mark Woods also seems interesting enough that I will leave this here, even though I really haven’t read enough of what he’s written to draw my own judgement on what he’s attempting to promote here.
